My nephew, who seems like a pretty good kid, is celebrating 17 years today!!!! I have seen him sporadically over the years. I see him every time I go to the states……every 2 or 3 years…so he changes radically each time I see him.

Despite the huge age gap…. he and I have a few things in common….some similar tastes in music.. and he tells me about his latest guitar purchases and wish lists.. We saw him two years ago on our last visit. He was all grown up and tall and had this LONG hair!!! and he hung out with his little cousins and treated them well…..my oldest, especially, thought he was pretty cool…..

here’s a great shot of my son just “hanging around” with his favorite cousin…..
